        DON'T JUDGE BEFORE KNOWING
     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   An oom along with his 24 year old son boarded a compartment of a train and seated themselves near a window. When the train chugged off the station and gained speed, the boy who was peeping outside with curiosity, exclaimed with joy-
" Look dad, the trees are hurtling backward."
 His dad smiled.A young couple sitting beside them, was gobsmacked and a tad irritant to see the childlike behaviour of a 24 year old boy.
    Suddenly the boy again trilled," Dad, the clouds are skedaddling with us." The dad smiled.
Now the couple could not suppress their irritation 
and said to the oom," Your son has not developed mentally according to his age. Why don't you take him to an expert doctor?"
 The oom replied," I did.We are vamoosing from the hospital just now.My son was blind since birth.He got his eyes today."
   The couple was ruefully dumbstruck.
 MORAL OF THE STORY-----

A WITTY ANSWER

                                                      (jai ma kali)
                      A  WITTY ANSWER
                    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   The great potentate, Akbar, was in the habit of posing outlandish questions to his courtiers for telling the appropriate answer. One day he asked them to tell how many crows are there in the city. All the noblemen were unable to tell the exact number of the crows. They hung their  pates in exasperation. Just at that precise moment Birbal entered the courtroom. The potentate confronted him with this question. Birbal responded tout-de-suite,
  " There are fifty thousand five hundred eighty nine crows in this city."
  Akbar was agape. He rejoined, " How can you be so sure?"
 " Your Majesty", Birbal said," Ask your men to count the numbers. If the numbers exceed my numbers, then it means that some crows have come here to visit their kith and kin. If the number is less than my numbers, then it means some crows have gone to their relatives somewhere else."
 The emperor was speechless !
 MORAL....
  A WITTY ANSWER SERVES ITS PURPOSE !!

THE SAPIENT GOAT

              THE  SAPIENT  GOAT
              *********************
   Once upon a time there were two goats. One was a tad sapient while the other was quite obdurate and pugnacious. There existed a narrow bridge over a river close to their habitat.
 One day, one goat was crossing the bridge .When she reached the centre of the bridge, she met the other goat. Now the bridge had no room for both of them to pass simultaneously. A frightful arguement ensued between them over passing the bridge first.
   One goat bleated to other," Get back.Let me cross first."
  "Why should I get back? You better do", countered the other goat.
    After a verbal squabbling, the haughty goat tilted her horns to strike.
   "Halt!", trilled the second goat who was sapient," If we wrangle, both of us would flump down into the river and will get submerged into the water. I shall lie down and you may walk over me."
    She laid down on the bridge.The other goat walked over her. So they crossed the bridge comfortably and went on their ways.

FALLACIOUS JUDGEMENT

                             Jai ma kali
                             ************
         Fallacious Judgement
        **********(*********(***
Once upon a time a new pedagogue by the name of Kent was appointed in a prestigious school.He was to teach English in Standard 7.On the very first day, as soon as he entered the class, he rudely asked the students to take out their English text book.Then he told each one to peruse a clause.
   Vicky was the first to peruse.Hardly he had finished a line than Mr Kent yelled,"Read loudly."Then he growled at Nicky "pronounce the words clearly."
    The next student was Dung.He got up.Holding the book in his left hand he commenced reading."What's your name?, Mr Kent gurgled with ire."Dung, sir.."cooed Dung nervously.
   Mr. Kent thundered,"You seem to be a fool of the first water.Where did you learn to read? Who taught to hold the book in the left hand? You nincompoop."Tetrified, the chap hung his head down and kept mum."Come on.Continue reading."Shouted  the teacher.
  Trembling with fear, Dung resumed to read in a stammering manner, still holding the book in his left hand.Again the teacher hollered,"Oh! You are stubborn too.Can't you understand English? Get out of the class."
  With tears trickling down his cheeks, poor Dung peregrinated out of the class.The whole class was stunned and shuddered.
  After the bell, the monitor of the class ventured to tiptoe to the pedagogue and said,"Sir, Dung does not have his right hand.He lost it in an accident about a couple of years ago."
   The pedagogue cut a sorry figure.Lamenting over his attitude he apologised to Dung for his folly.
  What happened to Mr Kent can happen to any of us. Hence it is certainly better not to judge anyone.
